VA Senate Democrats Pass Life-Saving Gun Legislation

Richmond, VA — Today, ​​after countless acts of mass shootings in the Commonwealth and across the Country, Virginia Senate Democrats passed several life-saving gun safety legislation – reaffirming their commitment to keeping Virginia’s communities safe.

Senate Democrats passed the following life-saving gun safety legislation:

-S.B. 1067 Senator Surovell: Substantial risk orders; substantial risk factors and considerations.
-S.B. 1181 Senator Ebbin: Sale, transfer, or purchase of unfinished frames or receivers and unserialized firearms; penalty.
-S.B. 1192 Senator Ebbin: Carrying assault firearms in public areas prohibited; penalty.

“There are too many loopholes that allow for dangerous individuals to acquire guns,” said Senator Adam Ebbin. “My bill that passed today addressing the sale of unserialized firearms or ‘ghost guns’ will help ensure firearms won’t get in the hands of criminals and dangerous individuals.”
